#20142 [Bgs]: Session and EscapeShellCmd problem

ID: 20142 User updated by: glenn@glenndevore.com Reported By: glenn@glenndevore.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Win 2K PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: The EscapeShellCmd was not the problem. The issue was with how sessions are stored. Please read the post for Oct 28, 2002 for a full explanation. In a nutshell: The session is saved with a number indicating the length of the variable, however it does not count the / as a character and is thus one less than the actual number of characters in the string, thus confusing the session information and reporting an error.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php EscapeShellCmd adds \ to the variable, which changes $test from b'lah to b\'lah nothing buggy or unusual about that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-25 16:08:21] glenn@glenndevore.com I have installed the win32 version listed above and still get the same problem. The session count of characters is still off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-15 01:37:51] sniper@php.net let's keep this in feedback status then until we get the real feedback. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-14 20:41:55] glenn@glenndevore.com I tried using the http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip download, but it crashed my system. I don't think it was the software. It was more likely the hardware. I am currently rebuilding the server and will try again when it is up. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-14 01:47:41] sniper@php.net No feedback was provided.
